Every year, in Cazadero, California (about an hour north of San Francisco), Brazilian music lovers get together to celebrate the music they love. Music workshops and performances fill their days. Guests vary from year to year, but some well-known names always mark their presence in the camp, including Claudia Villela, Guinga, Chico Pinheiro and others. In 2004, photographer David Heymann shared with MB some of his photo magic from the camp. You can read more about the camp by going to California Brazil Camp. Enjoy his photo exhibit.

Welcome to Música Brasileira!

If you have been following us for these past 15+ years, you can see we have recently upgraded our site. Don’t worry, though. All the reviews are still here and have all been converted to the new design. To read them just click on the “Reviews & Interviews” entry in the Sections menu to see all the artists we have reviewed or appeared in another artist’s album. All the other sections of the site are listed in that pull-down menu, too.

Two frequent questions seem to surface about us. First is about who we are. We are consumers just like you who enjoy Brazilian music. The vast majority of the reviews you find here are from CDs, DVDs and other media we purchased. The follow-up question to that is about our tendency to publish positive reviews. Well, we keep the bad apples to ourselves. Just because we spent money on them, it doesn’t mean you should, too.

Don’t forget that you can also listen to the music we review here. A lot of the albums are available online. For your listening pleasure we have also created a few select podcasts as well as a Spotify playlist. You can find those in the Sounds tab.
